PRESS RELEASE: The Board of Governors welcomes Dr. Elmira Mangum and Dr. John Kelly as the State University System's newest presidents
TAMPA—Dr. Elmira Mangum will lead Florida A&M University and Dr. John Kelly will lead Florida Atlantic University.
The Board confirmed both presidents Thursday after they spelled out their ambitious visions for their respective institutions as well as their goals for the System. Mangum and Kelly, who have excellent academic and administrative credentials, underwent rigorous selection processes at their own universities before interviewing with the Board.
"I join the entire State University System in congratulating our new presidents," said Board Chair Mori Hosseini. "I also thank FAMU and FAU for selecting outstanding candidates."
Each Board interview took more than an hour, during which time the presidents presented their goals for their institutions and expressed broad support for Board initiatives, from performance funding to aligning degrees with the needs of Florida's workforce.
"The Board understands the need to advocate for more funding for higher education while recognizing the unique missions of each university," Mangum said. "I think the model is a good one because it does hold us accountable."
"I can't imagine that the university I come from could have done what it has done if we did not have such attention to metrics," said Kelly, referring to his role in strengthening Clemson University, where he was vice president of economic development."Creating a plan, defining metrics and sticking to that plan can lead to enormous benefits for our universities."
Mangum is the former vice president for planning and budget at Cornell University, where she managed the university's resources and annual budgeting process. Among other accomplishments, she has been credited with helping the university overcome a structural deficit that impacted the university after the economic downturn.
Kelly is the former vice president of economic development at Clemson University, where he developed and implemented university policy, strategic planning, hiring strategies, communication and budgeting. He also served as executive director of the Clemson University Restoration Institute, where he built a highly collaborative team to educate students and direct research in energy systems.
"Dr. Mangum and Dr. Kelly are dedicated to access, accountability and academic quality, as made clear during today's presentations," said State University System Chancellor Marshall Criser III. "They are excellent fits for our System, and I look forward to working with them in the coming months and years."

You've heard this one before: The Baltimore Ravens haven't been the same team on defense this year.
Opponents have preyed on this once-dominant unit, pouring out yardage and points on a defense that spent the past nine seasons ranked in the top 10.
Pass rusher Terrell Suggs is back from the Achilles' injury that forced him to miss the team's first six games, but ailments have pulled too many other key players out of the mix.
Suggs rates the loss of Ray Lewis above them all.
"There's no word, really, in the English dictionary that can describe how important this man is to this team and this city," Suggs said in a Thursday appearance on NFL Network's "Around the League Live," set to air at 4 p.m. ET. "Losing him was catastrophic, and it's going to be hard to fill that void."
Suggs sees Baltimore's 30th-ranked defense as the product of injuries and transition. Young players have been asked to step in and fill the void left by Suggs, Lewis and cornerback Lardarius Webb during the team's 5-2 start.
It hasn't gone smoothly, but there's no sense of doom and gloom inside the building.
"We're a group of men built on doing the impossible," Suggs said.
What we saw against the Houston Texans on Sunday was disturbing. The Ravens couldn't stop the run or slow down the play-action pass. If the offense isn't singing, this team has trouble competing, and that's very new for the Ravens.
Baltimore's defense has rescued a typically floundering offense for a decade-plus, but times are changing. Suggs believes his teammates can weather the storm.
Suggs' full interview with "Around the League" can be seen Thursday at 4 p.m. ET on NFL Network.

Registry is senator's final "four-legged legislative priority" in honor of "Prevention of Animal Cruelty Month"
State Sen. Mark Grisanti, R-I-60, has urged his colleagues in both the Senate and Assembly to act on legislation he introduced last year that would create a state registry of all criminals convicted of abusing animals. He said this is an effort to prevent these individuals from gaining access to another innocent victim.
Grisanti's bill, S. 1594, calls for the creation of an easily accessible statewide database listing anyone who has ever been found guilty of abusing an animal by prohibiting animal abusers from possessing, adopting, owning, purchasing or exercising any type of control over an animal as long as they are required to register.
"It is imperative that we take action to stop these types of crimes from happening in the future," Grisanti said. "As the proud and loving owner of two dogs, I know how important it is that we do whatever is possible to stop people from mistreating our four-legged family members. By putting a stigma to these crimes and making punishment equal to other assaults, we can make a difference. The passage of this law is a top priority to me."
According to the language of Grisanti's bill, any animal abuser who intentionally or knowingly fails to comply with the registration requirements or provides false information will be guilty of a felony, which is to be punishable by a imprisonment not to exceed four years, or a fine not to exceed $5,000, or both. Shelters and pet stores would also be required to check the registry when selling or adopting an animal.
"By reporting, investigating and prosecuting animal cruelty, we can keep these types of dangerous people away from the animals that we love," Grisanti said. "Studies have shown that acts of animal cruelty are often linked to other crimes that include instances of domestic violence, property crimes and the use or sale of illegal drugs."
In addition, studies have shown a connection between the abuse of animals and violence against people including a 2001-04 Chicago Police Department study, which revealed that, of those arrested for animal crimes, 65 percent had been arrested for battery against another person. Of 36 convicted multiple murderers questioned in another study, 46 percent admitted committing acts of animal torture as an adolescent. And of seven school shootings that took place in the country from 1997-2001, all involved boys who had previously committed acts of animal cruelty.
Grisanti first introduced legislation calling for the creation of a statewide database last April, and again in October 2012, following the reported incident of a Jake Russell terrier puppy being purposely set on fire by someone.
Grisanti is releasing his "four-legged legislative priorities" during the month of April in honor "Prevention of Animal Cruelty Month."
This is his final legislative priority (four of four; in no specific order).

Klavika Condensed: Like its big brother, only condensed
Klavika Condensed evolved from a design brief to expand the original Klavika by adding a narrow companion without sacrificing the feel and functionality of the original. The near vertical terminations, straight sides, dynamic italic, and range of weights from Klavika are right at home in this narrower version.
Like its big brother, Klavika Condensed is a typographic hybrid – the font combines the best influences from humanist and geometric sources while holding allegiances for neither. The result is a font with a crisp page color that's warm and modern in outlook. Like Klavika, the fonts are versatile do-it-all sans serifs well-suited for text and display work, especially in circumstances with limited space.
The Klavika Condensed fonts contain a selection of useful OpenType features. Both the roman and italic have Tabular numerals with related monetary and math symbols, while an alternate 'g' and arrows are also included in the roman.

Government pumping millions into "Masters Degrees" in Terror and Homeland Security
Washington Post | Apr 30 2005
Colleges altering courses, tapping into Homeland Security funds
Cathy Lanier had to think like a terrorist and come up with a way to kill a few thousand people at a picnic in San Luis Rey. The virtual town in California, repeatedly cursed with smallpox epidemics, explosions and attacks on its nuclear power plant, is part of her new education: The commander of special operations for D.C. police is earning a master's degree in the fast-growing field of homeland security.
Schools across the country are catering to such students as Lanier by revamping curricula and research as they try to keep pace with the changes brought on by the 2001 terrorist attacks and take advantage of a large pool of homeland security money. At hundreds of schools, Sept. 11 is influencing how many topics are taught -- from medicine to firefighting to politics to computer networking.
The changes are driven by legislation and policy, interest from students and faculty, demands from employers, a sense of mission -- and money.
The federal government has pumped cash into this new fight, spending more than $12 billion for homeland security research and development over the past four budget years. "Homeland security is probably going to be the government's biggest employer in the next decade," said Steven R. David, who directs the homeland security certificate program at Johns Hopkins University.
"This is all brand-new ground," Lanier, 37, said.
A partner for the government
Just as it did during World War II and the Cold War, the government is turning to academia as a partner in defending the country and understanding the enemy. At universities, there are graduate-level classes full of police officers, intelligence analysts and public health experts dwelling on worst-case scenarios, picking apart the cultures of terrorist groups and planning defenses.
Researchers are creating models of explosives and studying germs. And such workers as flight attendants, nurses and lab technicians, whose jobs have been transformed by a variety of threats, are getting hands-on training.
"It's growing by leaps and bounds," said Stanley Supinski, chairman of the Homeland Security/Defense Education Consortium, which was established by two military commands within the Department of Defense, along with two universities in Colorado and the Naval Postgraduate School.
About 80 percent of community colleges offer courses related to homeland security, according to the American Association of Community Colleges. Some, such as Northern Virginia Community College, offer certificates.
Employers often hire people studying computer network security before the students have even finished the classes, said NVCC President Robert G. Templin Jr.
Four-year colleges have added courses for undergraduates in fields all but unheard of just a few years ago -- about the Taliban and cybersecurity, for example. Some offer degree programs; Virginia Commonwealth University hopes to have students studying for bachelor's degrees in homeland security this fall.
Several schools are considering establishing master's degree programs. More common are the certificates offered at such universities as Georgetown, Johns Hopkins and George Washington that allow students earning master's degrees to specialize in homeland security. Georgetown students can take a class on al Qaeda from the former head of the Bin Laden unit of the CIA.
'This is our generation's war'
"There is a larger, compelling calling here," said Frank Cilluffo, director of the Homeland Security Policy Institute at GWU. "This is our generation's war -- it's not going away."
This year's federal budget includes more than $4 billion for homeland security research and development. From the Department of Homeland Security, $64 million goes directly to university programs, including major research centers, scholarships and fellowships.
Much of the funding so far has gone to immediate practical needs rather than long-term research, some analysts said. And the rapid increases seem to be slowing, said Kei Koizumi of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. "It's no longer a blank check, where homeland security programs can get 20 percent increases each year."
Still, there is no question that there is an influx of money for homeland security studies, said Peter Stearns, provost of George Mason University, where students can earn a doctorate in biodefense.
Biodefense research is one area that is growing especially quickly: Funding from the National Institutes of Health grew thirtyfold from 2001 to 2005.
The Department of Homeland Security has created four national research centers to study food safety, threats to animal agriculture, the risk and economic analysis of terrorist events, and -- in an effort led by University of Maryland with a three-year, $12 million grant for researchers from multiple universities -- why people become terrorists.
The agency plans three more centers, including one to study "high-consequence event preparedness and response." Michael Greenberger, the director of the U-Md. Center for Health and Homeland Security, is hoping a bid from his group of 25 universities will be chosen.
Schools also get money indirectly, through homeland security grants to state and local governments for training and education. "The entire grant program is just a staggering amount of money," said William Kelley, of Homeland Security's Office for Domestic Preparedness. And private employers are demanding people with new expertise.
'There's no quality control'
As the field mushrooms, it has had its share of glitches.
Next month, Supinski's group will meet to talk about setting standards for the field. He keeps seeing an ad in the paper: " 'Become a refrigerator mechanic, a paralegal and a homeland security expert!' People are jumping on this bandwagon," he said, "because students want this, and there's no quality control."
Some question the way the money is spent. Last month, the Center for Public Integrity questioned a homeland security contract for a small college in the home town of former secretary Tom Ridge. Some universities avoid federal funding for some graduate studies to ensure academic freedom.
The Center for Homeland Defense and Security at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif., is sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security, which pays the $42,000, 18-month tuition and expenses, plus travel every few months to class, for such students as Lanier. "We take rising stars in homeland security," said director Paul N. Stockton-- people from the Coast Guard, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the CIA, the FBI -- and teach them to design security strategies.
In class, Lanier said, she sits next to the man who was the first fire incident commander at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.
Much of the work is done online, as students juggle the immediate demands of work at home with the need to look ahead. Sometimes Lanier has to cut class -- she was responsible for security at the Washington Nationals' home opener, when crowds choked roads and Metro stations. So she took the red-eye back to Washington, put off her thesis for another day and went to work.
She has read the 9/11 commission report, learned about budgeting, technology and civil liberties. She's studied the psychology of fear and terrorism. And she's learned about such critical links as banking, transportation, water and power supplies, down to the details of how fuel travels through pipelines and how power grids work.
Then she pinpointed where the weaknesses are in Washington.
"It's very intense," she said. She used to think just about police response. Now she thinks about prevention. Now she thinks like a terrorist.
fuckin' outstanding ain't it? :-P
So pardon me while I burst into flames.
I\'ve had enough of the world and it\'s people\'s mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame. Pardon me, pardon me, I\'ll never be the same. -Brandon Boyd

Tracy acknowledged his troubled childhood, and his metamorphosis after entering the Reichert House. Three years after starting the program with a reputation for having the most behavioral referrals in his school, Tracy ended 9th grade with a GPA of 4.0 and the award for "freshman of the year."
When the neighbors saw Tracy Williams walking down the street, they knew trouble couldn't be far behind.
In his early teen years, Williams says he was notorious in the neighborhood for knocking over trash cans, breaking glass bottles in the street and stealing toys out of people's yards.
But that all changed when he joined Reichert House.
Williams, now 18, is graduating from Eastside High School in a few weeks with an A average and a scholarship to attend Florida Atlantic University, where he will study computer engineering.
He gave the senior address at Reichert House's annual Baccalaureate Ceremony on Thursday evening at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church.
"We've had some rough times," he said to the 51 Reichert House honorees from fifth, eighth and 12th grades.
Williams acknowledged his troubled childhood, and his metamorphosis after entering Reichert House. Three years after starting the program with a reputation for having the most behavioral referrals in his school, Williams ended ninth grade with a GPA of 4.0 and the award for "freshman of the year."
He'd turned his life around.
"I beat that stereotype," he said.
Reichert House is an after-school program that was established in 1987 to help boys with the transition from childhood to adulthood.
At its location on Southeast Second Avenue, boys between ages 11 and 18 receive academic tutoring, participate in paramilitary training and learn life skills.
"It transforms their lives," said Sharla Head-Jones, a member of Reichert House's educational staff.
Many of the young men who are graduating this year started the program as soon as it was available to them, she said. Some of them, like Williams, were coming in with D's and F's on their report cards, and behavioral records from their schools that were an inch thick, she said.
Now those same students are on the honor roll and presidents of school clubs, said Head-Jones, and are attending college on scholarships in the fall.
But boys enter Reichert House for a variety of reasons, and not all of them are in trouble.
"People think that the Reichert House serves only 'bad' children, and that is not right," Head-Jones said.
Kenny Johnson, who is about to graduate from the International Baccalaureate program at Eastside, said he's always been a good student.
But something was missing in his life.
His father went to prison when Johnson was in sixth grade.
At home, he's surrounded by women — his mom and her friends. That's all right, he said, but he often felt a void when he needed to talk about "male things."
So a year ago, his mother enrolled him in Reichert House.
The program — where Johnson found not one but several male role models and dozens of like-minded boys his age — was "life-changing," he said.
"It filled that gap for me," he said.
At the ceremony, Reichert House directors highlighted Johnson's achievements and his future: He will attend Florida A&M, where he will study computer information science and pharmacy.
After the ceremony, Williams stood with his mother, Tabresha Johnson, both grinning ear to ear.
Reichert House saved their life, Johnson said.
As a single mother of seven, times have been tough for their family.
Williams especially had a hard time without a father in his life.
"Thanks to the Reichert House, he has several," his mother said.

In a year marked by record drought and increasing feed prices, many producers are considering reducing the size of their cow herd to maintain efficient use of financial and production resources. Organizers of the Applied Reproductive Strategies in Beef Cattle conference say the conference will provide a wealth of information on using advanced productive technologies to help producers make decision that are right for individual situations. The conference is set for Dec. 3-4 at the Best Western Ramkota Hotel in Sioux Falls, S.D.
Garland Dahlke of the Iowa Beef Center at Iowa State University says conference topics were chosen with producer and veterinarians in mind so everyone who attends will be able to find useful information for their operations and businesses.
"This conference features 27 speakers from throughout the United States and Canada who are experts in their respective fields," Dahlke says. "They'll share their knowledge on topics ranging from importance and control for estrus to male fertility and genetics to stress management and vaccination." The conference also features a trade show and the first day concludes with hands-on activities here participants can become more familiar with several of the session topics.
Register by November 1 and receive a discount, conference is December 3-4
Dahlke, who also is an ISU representative on the Beef Reproduction Task Force that's co-sponsoring the symposium said the fee for registrations postmarked by Nov. 1 is $150 per person, and increases to $200 per person after that date. Fee for students in $90. More information including links to the program agenda and registration forms is available on the conference website muconf.missouri.edu/ARSBC-SouthDakota/.
Iowa producers can contact Dahlke by email at [email protected] or by phone at 515-294-9910. Those planning to attend can reserve rooms at the conference rate of $89.99 plus tax by calling the Best Western Ramkota in Sioux Falls at 605-336-0650, and asking for the Applied Reproductive Strategies in Beef Cattle conference rate. The conference is being coordinate by the Beef Reproduction Leadership Team of South Dakota State University and IGrow, a service of SDSU Extension.
IBC was established in 1996 with the goal of supporting the growth and vitality of the state's beef cattle industry. It comprises faculty and staff from ISU Extension, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and ISU College of Veterinary Medicine, and works to develop and deliver the latest research-base information regarding the beef cattle industry.

We've all met the delusionals and the crazies in religion, or at least seen them on TV or YouTube. The way that they affect Christianity reminds me of what happens in work environments: One person does something stupid or abuses the system, and suddenly there is an additional code or protocol that everyone else has to follow. One person's folly becomes everyone's regret. Among Christians, it seems that our reaction to the loonies has made us all act a little crazy. Rather than seeking to distinguish between the spirits of good and evil, and sane and insane, we've generally abolished anything that seems a little odd or difficult to rationalize.
But there is comfort to be found in what Paul
tells us about how spiritual gifts come into play, and how they should be used.
He addresses the problems we're dealing with head on.

Could Light Therapy help beat your winter blues?
While many look forward to the crisp and clear autumn and winter months, others find that they struggle through these months feeling tired and low. Seasonal Affective Disorder, also known as SAD, is a form of depression that is brought on when levels of natural sunlight are reduced. Symptoms tend to begin as the days get shorter and winter draws in, only lifting completely during the summer months. A milder form of seasonal depression – often called sub-syndromal SAD (S-SAD) or simply 'the winter blues' – affects around 1 in 10 adults.
I was interested to read a recent Swedish study that tested a treatment called 'bright light therapy' on individuals with SAD and with S-SAD (1). Bright light therapy is a treatment that involves exposure to a special light that mimics natural outdoor light.
The study tested the effects of the light therapy on 49 individuals who had been diagnosed with either SAD or S-SAD.
When the individuals began to experience winter depressive symptoms, some of the group were either given a 10-day course of bright light therapy, or were put onto a 3-week waiting list, after which they were given the 10-day treatment course. The group of people on the waiting list were used as the 'control' group for this study.
The study found that bright light therapy was linked to improvements in a number of symptoms. The researchers had conducted an earlier randomised clinical trial which found that bright light therapy did indeed have a positive effect on depressive mood in those with SAD and S-SAD (2). This new study, however, also measured the effects of bright light therapy on other symptoms, such as tiredness, fatigue, sleep problems and health-related quality of life. All of these symptoms had improved after the 10-day course of light therapy. Symptoms were then measured again, a month after the treatment had finished, and it was found that the symptom improvements had lasted.
The study suffers because, although a control group was used, strictly speaking there was no placebo group. If the second group had been exposed to a 'placebo' light rather than the therapeutic bright light, then this might have served as a better comparison group. The study is nevertheless very interesting because it indicates that light therapy can help not just depressive mood, but that it can bring about improvement in a number of symptoms including milder symptoms of depression and daytime sleepiness.
Despite the design flaw in the study, light therapy does appear to be a promising treatment for the 'winter blues'. Systematic reviews have reported that light therapy represents an effective and well-tolerated treatment for SAD (3). A home light box may therefore be a wise investment for those who need a boost during these darker months. Using a light box for between 30 minutes to an hour in the morning is considered to be an effective approach, and the light should be at least 2500 lux to be beneficial. Some individuals also use a Sunrise Alarm Clock as well to help balance their circadian rhythm and ensure they wake naturally in the morning rather than to the sharp, shrill noise of a standard alarm clock. These Wake-Up Lights simulate the "sunrise" so the brain wakes gradually.
Seasonal affective disorder, or the milder 'winter blues' can mean months of misery for those affected. With an estimated 1 in 20 adults affected by SAD, and a further 1 in 10 suffering from its milder form S-SAD, it is certainly an approach worth considering.

that to my ears could be as good if not better than the released 2.
I'll post a sample if someone tells me how, or i'll mail it to someone who
can do it for me? (i can send as an MP3 file).

FTD released LP version from tape.
Version 4 has complete CAN'T HELP FALLING etc... But has clipped
Trying to get to you / polk salad & first part intros (clipped) but rest of
show complete.
Hope that helps Cisco.
HAWAII wrote:Hi Cisco,
The COMPLETE show would run approx 95mins.
there are differences in all versions, what i remember is that
Early Morning Rain was also cut on the LP - But complete on FTD
as was Can't Help Falling. As for dialogue this is a simple case of
playing each side by side - The new version seems to have a little
more dialogue & at one point the Orchestra almost start the New
Year theme (which i don't recall before) Elvis then goes on to say
'we still have 10mins to New Year' or something along those lines.
This kind of question needs quite a lot of work - but approx 95mins
would give the COMPLETE performance.
The most interesting stuff on the new version is you can actually hear
Elvis' responses to the audience shouts (close to the recorder) and
an almost intimate feeling to the concert when the comments we know
so well now have a reason behind them.

Germany, beginning their bid for a sixth straight title, have dominated recent meetings with a Netherlands team who were surprise semi-finalists in 2009, though they have never met on a stage as big as this.
Head-to-head record
• Of 17 encounters, Germany have won 11 and the Netherlands two, with four draws and a goal count of 43-11. However, since Silvia Neid's 2005 appointment, Germany have four straight wins with 17 goals scored and only one conceded.
• They played in two of the first European qualifiers for the inaugural 1984 finals. Both matches were drawn, 2-2 in the Netherlands and 1-1 in West Germany. The Netherlands finished ahead of West Germany, but Denmark topped the section to go through.
• For the next decade their only meetings were in friendlies – a 1984 1-1 draw in Waalwijk followed by three straight German wins.
• Matched in 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying, the Netherlands beat Germany for the first time 1-0 in Almelmo on 13 December 1997. However, Germany's 2-1 home win in Rheine the following April eliminated the Dutch, with Norway first in the section and Germany second.
• The Netherlands were 2-0 winners in Arnhem on 16 March 2000, their most recent success against Germany, but lost 3-0 at home and 6-0 away in 2003 World Cup qualifying to the eventual champions.
• A 0-0 friendly draw on 14 October 2004 in Berlin was the last time the Dutch avoided defeat by Germany.
• In 2009 qualifying, Germany conceded to Janna Torny 17 minutes into the opening fixture in Bochum – the only goal they let in during the group – but won 5-1 in the end and also 1-0 in Volendam, Annike Krahn scoring. The Netherlands eventually qualified for the first time via the play-offs.
• Germany have hosted the Netherlands in warm-ups before their last two major tournaments. Prior to UEFA Women's EURO 2009 they won 6-0 in Sinsheim, Netherlands goalkeeper Loes Guerts with an early own goal and Inka Grings, Melanie Behringer, Birgit Prinz, Simone Laudehr and Célia Okoyino Da Mbabi also scoring. The result convinced Dutch coach Vera Pauw to introduce the cautious tactics that got them to the semi-finals in Finland.
Selected previous meeting
7 June 2011: Germany 5-0 Netherlands (Da Mbabi 15, Laudehr 43, Popp 71, Kulig 75, Grings 87) - New Tivoli, Aachen, Friendly
Germany: Angerer, B Schmidt, Krahn (Goessling 46), Bartusiak, Peter, Kulig, Laudehr (Hingst 63), Garefrekes (Grings 46), Prinz (Popp 46), Bajramaj (Behringer 46), Da Mbabi (M Müller 76).
Netherlands: Guerts, Bito (Stentler 46), Meulen (Van Es 88), Van den Berg, Hogewoning (Van den Heilingenberg 46), Hoogendijk, Spitse, Slegers (De Ridder 66), Smit (Brummel 76), Pieëte (Van de Ven 56), Melis.
• Germany's penultimate match prior to hosting the 2011 World Cup maintained their winning build-up as they overwhelmed the Netherlands in Aachen.
Form guide
• Although Germany's run of 39 straight UEFA Women's EURO victories and 36 consecutive major qualifying victories, going back to November 1999, was ended in November 2011 with a 2-2 draw in Spain, they dropped no other points and ended eight clear in Group 2.
• Their goal tally from ten games was a typically impressive 64-3 – the next highest was Spain's 43 – and included a joint tournament record 17-0 defeat of Kazakhstan a week before the Spain trip.
• Da Mbabi was qualifying top scorer on 17 goals and is only one away from equalling the tournament record of 18 set by Patricia Brocker in Germany's 1995 triumph.
• Germany are aiming for a sixth straight success; since a group stage was introduced in 1997 they are unbeaten in final tournaments and on a run of 19 straight victories, including the golden goal defeat of Sweden in the 2001 final.
• Germany have not lost a UEFA European Women's Championship fixture since a 3-1 home qualifying defeat by Norway on 2 May 1996. The 57-game unbeaten run up to the end of 2013 qualifying featured 52 wins and five draws.
• However, they exited the 2011 World Cup on home soil with an extra-time loss to Japan in the quarter-finals, costing them the trophy they had held since 2003 and, for the first time, an Olympic slot.
• The Netherlands' appearance in the 2009 finals was their major tournament debut. Having knocked out Denmark and Ukraine in the group stage, they beat France on penalties in the last eight but lost their semi-final against England 2-1 after extra time.
• Although unable to pip Norway in 2011 World Cup qualifying, in their 2013 group the Netherlands dropped only five points, all against England, as they made it through as best runners-up.
Team ties
• Anja Mittag and Manon Melis are team-mates at FC Malmö.
• In 2011/12 Chantal de Ridder was a club-mate of Babett Peter, Bianca Schmidt, Mittag and Viola Odebrecht at 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam, though the Germany quartet have since moved on.
• Similarly, Petra Hogewoning was a 2011/12 club-mate of Linda Bresonik, Laudehr, Annike Krahn, Luisa Wensing and Alexandra Popp at FCR 2001 Duisburg. All have now left, but Duisburg do boast Dutch midfielder Lieke Martens.
• When Odebrecht left the Florida State Seminoles in 2005, she was replaced by Kerstin van de Ven.
• Not only does Neid have a perfect senior coaching record against the Netherlands, but also at competitive youth level. In the 2000/01 UEFA European Women's Under-18 Championship third qualifying round, and the same stage of the new U19 tournament a year later, she oversaw two 3-0 wins.
• Bresonik and Oderbecht were in the Germany team for the 2001 match in Appingedam. A year later in Hamm, Mittag was among the scorers and Bresonik and Oderbecht were still involved, facing Angela Christ and Anouk Hoogendijk. Both times Germany went on to win the title.
• There have been two matches between German and Dutch clubs in the UEFA Women's Cup/UEFA Women's Champions League, both between Potsdam and Sasetum. In the 2005/06 second qualifying round, eventual runners-up Potsdam, including Nadine Angerer, Isabel Kerschowski and Mittag, eliminated Hoogendijk's Saestum 2-0 in France.
• At the same stage a season later it was 2-2 in Saestum's Zeist home. Angerer, Peter and Kerschowski lined up against Christ; both teams went through, but were eliminated in the quarter-finals.

How Should I Store My Cheese?
This is one of the most common questions that I and, I suspect, my fellow cheesemongers field on a daily basis. It is a good question to ask because how you store your cheese can profoundly affect both its flavor and longevity.
One of the most important components to proper cheese storage is what you wrap your cheese in. Here at Formaggio Kitchen, we wrap cheese in a special type of paper that is imported from France. The paper is lined with a thin sheet, allowing the cheese to breath a bit while at the same time retaining its moisture. This differs greatly from plastic wrap which not only imparts a plastic flavor to your cheese but also prevents it from breathing at all. The cheeses on our cheese wall are wrapped in plastic so that you can see what they look like. However, every morning when the cheese wall goes up, the faces of our cheeses are cleaned and re-wrapped in order to prevent that plastic taste from permeating the cheese. Better than plastic wrap but not as optimal as the cheese paper, is tin foil or parchment paper. I would recommend using either of these in preference to plastic wrap if you do not have cheese paper.
Once you have wrapped your cheese for storage, what should you do with it next? I recommend keeping it in the fridge, preferably in your vegetable drawer. For one, the vegetable drawer is generally not near your freezer section and you do not want your cheese to be in the coldest part of the fridge. Essentially, you are trying to mimic the conditions of a cheese cave – cool with a bit of humidity. In addition to being more temperate, the vegetable drawer (perhaps due to the moisture of the veggies?) also seems to be a bit moister than the rest of the fridge… In general, refrigerators tend to dry things out – storing your cheese in the vegetable drawer should, however, slow the process a bit. The third good thing about the vegetable drawer is that it serves as a protective unit, preventing your cheese from absorbing the odors or flavors of other strong smelling items in your fridge. Conversely, if you are storing a "stinky" washed-rind cheese, you will be protecting your other foods from absorbing those smells and flavors. Eggs, for example, are quite porous and easily absorb the flavors of things placed in close proximity.
In an effort to simulate the conditions of a cave, I have also heard of some folks dedicating a Tupperware container (or something similar) to cheese storage. Lining the container with damp paper towels and poking holes in the top (to allow for air circulation) seems to do the trick for some. I have never done this myself because, to be honest, cheese never lasts long enough in my fridge to make it worthwhile! This actually begs another point – it is generally better to buy smaller amounts of cheese more often than to try to store large amounts of cheese for extended periods of time. Smaller quantities will ensure that you get the full flavor benefit from your cheese.
Occasionally, I have customers who ask if they should store their cheeses under a cheese dome on their counter-top… In the winter, you can get away with this (if you live in New England and don't crank the heat!) but, in general, I recommend the fridge. Ideally, however, it is best to take the cheese out of the fridge an hour or two before you serve it (depending on the season and how warm you keep your home) in order for it to come to room temperature. If your cheese comes straight out of the fridge, you will not get the full benefit of its flavor. As with wine, excessive chilling dulls flavor – but, if you give the cheese a chance to come to room temperature, its flavor opens up and the difference between cold and room-temperature cheese can be quite striking both in terms of taste as well as texture.

No sons? No problem for Pingree ranchers
PINGREE — Riding, roping, calving, cutting, branding and building fence –– you name it — and the Dalley girls Naomi, 12; Quinci 10, and Saydi, 6 can do it.
Chris and Kimmel Dalley own land and cattle in Pingree and Northern Nevada but they don't need to hire help because it's a family business and everyone, regardless of age, or gender helps.
Kendall Keller, Farm Bureau regional manager and family friend, says "these three girls are better cowboys than most grown men."
That's a compliment the girls and their parents will tell you is true.
"When a job comes up, we have to get it done," said Chris. "There is nothing out here that I won't let them do. Even if it's going to take an extra day longer, I would rather do it with my kids."
Ranching is just part of the girls' DNA. Chris says that while he and Kimmel were dating she came and helped brand on what he calls "a wet spring day in the muck". The experience was new for Kimmel, but she loved it.
"At the end of the day my grandpa looked at me and said "if she comes back, you better marry that girl," said Chris.
She did come back and when Chris was ready to propose he told Kimmel — I don't have money for a ring, but I have this horse I can sell... Chris says she didn't even hesitate, Kimmel answered "I would just as soon have the horse –– I'd rather have the horse than the diamond."
And so it began. A family that loves to work together.
"We love being outdoors and we love being together and we love being on our horses," said Kimmel.
Chris and Kimmel are proud of their cowgirls. They say the girls know how to work hard and never complain — unless they're stuck at home. When they are gathering cows in the spring Chris says sometimes the family will work 12-14 hours a day. Last winter the family trailed cows 60 miles in "dirty, cold, zero degree weather.
"For me it turns into a job," said Chris. "The girls had more fun with it than I did."
The family also lived in a teepee for two weeks and, if you ask the girls, they will tell you they loved it like most would love a vacation.
"We do harder work than our friends," said 10-year old Quinci. "A lot of our friends are afraid to get dirty –– but, they're pansies!"
"I think they [the girls] see how much Chris and I love it and that's part of why they love it too," said Kimmel. "It makes really good adults later."
The girls are proud to say they have each faced the fear of being charged by a cow; they have worked in the freezing cold and searing heat and they all ride horses well enough to handle their own. If tears ever fall, they wipe them off and are proud of what they've accomplished.
Can you guess what Naomi, Quinci, and Saydi all want to be when they grow up? Ranchers.

Nissan backs off from Goodwood reverse-race car stunt
Arse-backwards attempt kyboshed
Organisers of the Goodwood Festival of Speed have stopped Nissan's attempt to drive one of its jalopies up the Hill Climb course backwards.
The Japanese manufacturer did manage to send a stuntman in a Nissan up the track on two wheels. But organisers put the kybosh on the reverse attempt on safety grounds.
The idea – which probably should have remained in the PRs' heads – was to remove limiters from the car's reverse gear, allowing the car to go as fast backwards as forwards. The Nissan LEAF has a top speed of 90mph.
Goodwood used to host proper motor racing from 1948 until 1966. It was stopped because the owner Lord March could not bear how many drivers were being killed. Racing on the course began again in 1998 with the launch of the Goodwood Revival. ®

We may be a little way into 2014, but January 31 marks the starts of the Chinese New Year, and is the perfect chance to take inspiration for a mini home style makeover.
Associated with the Chinese elements of heat, fire and red, if you're keen to introduce some rich, berry tones to the home, then the Year of the Horse is a perfect excuse to start rooting around for some Oriental treasures.
In fact, blending reds and golds with contemporary pieces from different dynasties will not only imbibe some Far Eastern promise, but could also bring fortune into the mix.
Barny Gloyn, MD at Linwood Fabrics & Wallpapers, says: "Red is a colour that has symbolism in China, a dynamic and vibrant colour, it has long symbolised good luck and happiness.
"Amaya is a vivacious fabric collection which features red as its principle colour. This has been twinned with a rich metallic accent, which runs throughout various patterns for a touch of Oriental opulence."
Gallop towards Chinese charm, with these Far Eastern-themed treasures for the home.

The Tigers made five free throws in the final 26 seconds and survived a back-and-forth fourth quarter Saturday to beat Webb City 47-43 in the championship game of the Class 5, District 12 girls basketball tournament at Carthage High School.
The Tigers made five free throws in the final 26 seconds and survived a back-and-forth fourth quarter Saturday to beat Webb City 47-43 in the championship game of the Class 5, District 12 girls basketball tournament at Carthage High School.
Afterwards, Carthage head coach Jim Moore and his basketball team were feeling good.
"Absolutely," Moore said. "That was a big win for our program against a very good team. We've had three battles with them this year and coach (Brad) Shorter does a very good job. We feel pretty fortunate to be advancing right now, but we're excited about it."
Carthage, the tournament host and top seed, trailed 36-30 late in the third quarter. Senior Hannah Blount made a three pointer with 1:04 left in the quarter to trim the deficit to three, and another three by sophomore Vanessa Pawlak tied the game at 36 with 6:58 remaining.
From there, the game was about as close as could be.
Mikaela Burgess put the Cardinals ahead 38-36, but 11 seconds later Carthage senior Kaylee Morgan tied it up again. Kaitlin Beason put Webb City up 40-38 with 4:34 left in the game, but Carthage tied it again on a basket by junior Chloe' Shepherd with 2:50 left on the clock. The Cardinals took a 42-40 lead on a basket by Lacy Resa, and had a chance for more with a one-and-one free throw opportunity, but Webb City missed the first shot with 40 seconds left.
Carthage missed a free throw with 38 seconds remaining, and then Webb City missed another just a second later, but with 26 seconds to go, Shepherd scored and was fouled. Her free throw gave Carthage a 43-42 lead.
Webb City missed another free throw with 16 seconds to play, and Carthage missed one with 14 seconds left, but Morgan made one at the 12 second mark, then Shepherd made two with 9.8 seconds remaining for a four-point lead.
Webb City's Megan Heman went to the foul line with 5.5 seconds to go and made the first, but the Cardinals were called for a lane violation and vacated the second shot. Then, with 4.3 seconds left, Blount made a free throw to make it a two-possession game, ending any chances of a Webb City comeback.
"Anybody could win it," Moore said. "Either team. We talked about staying together as a team. We played like that all year, and we knew we had to count on each other to make big stops on the defensive end and make big plays on the offensive end. We came into the timeouts and just kept reminding each other that we've been here before and if we play with each other and we count on each other and play as a team, we'll find a way to win. And we did.
"It's hard to pick a star of the game because everybody did a great job, everybody made big plays," he said. "It was definitely a team effort."
Two of the biggest were Shepherd's old fashioned three-point play with 26 seconds left, with put Carthage ahead by point, and Shepherd's two free throws with 9.8 seconds remaining, increasing a two-point lead to four.
But they weren't the only big plays. The three pointers by Blount and Pawlak and baskets by Morgan and Shepherd down the stretch kept Carthage neck and neck with the Cardinals.
"It's a big game, a big-game atmosphere and emotions are high," Moore said. "You're wanting to make a play so bad for your team. Both teams were exerting a lot of energy. We were just fortunate to make a couple more plays than what they did."
Webb City led 12-10 after a quarter, but Carthage took a 25-22 lead at the half.
Burgess poured in 20 points for Webb City, and senior Gabrielle Gannaway scored seven.
Carthage was led by Blount's 16 points, and 12 by Shepherd. Pawlak scored nine, Morgan added eight and sophomore Leigh Ann Craig finished with two.
Now, it's on to the playoffs for Carthage as one of 16 remaining teams in Class 5. Carthage will take on Ozark at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar. Ozark beat Glendale 75-64 in the District 11 tournament Saturday.

Despite some early promise, there has been much complaining of a lack of innovation from chassis builders in Moto2. the bikes have followed the same basic layout as all modern race bikes since the late 1980s: aluminium twin spar chassis and conventional suspension arrangements.
The only real interest has come from wildcards. At Le Mans, the French Promoto Sport team raced their Transfiormer chassis, with some solid results. Beyond that, the bikes have been pretty much identikit.
At Silverstone this year though, another interesting wildcard will get its first public running. The British round of Moto2 will see the Brough Superior make its debut in a competitive race, after making an appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last year.

GRANVILLE/HANCOCK — Granville and Hancock last month were granted a reprieve in a search for a new supervisory union — for now, at least.
In a March 2010 Town Meeting Day vote, residents of Bethel and Rochester voted to leave the Windsor Northwest Supervisory Union. Since those towns contain the only two high schools in the supervisory union, the resolutions prompted a more-than-yearlong study on closing the supervisory union by the state Board of Education.

So I finally bought Fallout 4 whilst it was on offer. Played it all night Friday, most of yesterday and went to play it again today... and my monitor says 'No Signal Detected'.
I jiggled with the cables for both monitor and PC. No luck.
So I opened her up, less blue LED light than usual on the graphics card. Tried reseating it, jiggled the PCI-E power connectors (2x 6 pin), no difference. The graphics card fans power up, and eventually after it POSTs (I assume, because I can't see anything) it seems some of the graphics cards blue LEDs are getting power but not all. Usually I can tell it's working fine by the blinding blue light.
So I'm on integrated graphics now.
I'm gonna try a couple of things. Different output (maybe its a RAMDAC?) if I can find a HDMI or DP cable, different VGA power cables, then I'll try taking the heatsink off, cleaning and reapplying thermal paste. Can anyone think of anything else to try? It could possibly also be the motherboards PCI-E slot but my gut tells me it isn't because it's newer than the graphics card by a couple of years and my PCI-E wifi card is working fine. I assume I can test that by putting the graphics card in a lower slot even though it isn't 16x?
It's a MSI GeForce GTX 670 OC PE 2GB, and I've had it for... almost 4 years so it's well past it's warranty. If it is truly dead it's a shame because it still plays all my games pretty well.
If I do have to replace it, it seems I'm a month early for the GTX 1070 and I don't think I can survive that long, but considering the rumoured prices it would seem silly to pay £200+ for a GTX 970? Or to stay at the same level, I guess the GTX 960 won't be replaced for a while yet? I'm wary of going to AMD because one of the games I play - FSX - works better on Nvidia. For reference, I play at 1080p and that's unlikely to change soon so perhaps I should just stick to my usual budget of <£200.

Help your new team members to belong and be productive from the beginning.
It's as true in learning as anywhere else: first impressions matter. If you're onboarding new members of your team, you need to ensure first that learning and support experiences set the right tone. You want them to feel they've made a great decision to join you – and the learning experience plays a huge part in that.
Taking induction further, many organisations are seeing the value of bringing new apprentices into the workplace. There are enormous benefits to the organisation and the individual. As part of the City & Guilds group we have supported organisations including Tesco, McDonald's and Toni & Guy to create apprenticeship programmes.
Induction needs to be consistent, cost-effective, and, ideally, start before people join your business. Our approach and services will help you get there.
Our approach
We've designed and developed onboarding learning programmes for organisations including Barclays, Marks & Spencer, BP, Guoman Thistle, and many others. We think it's about four things:
- Belonging:
Help your new hires see what a great decision they've made to join you. Strong advertorial messages and high quality video content can play a key role in this. This can include starting with a pre-induction programme, providing access via an induction portal ahead of day 1, to motivating messages to start immersing your new joiners in the organisation.
- Believing:
Help new joiners understand and believe in what you stand for, and start to internalise and act in line with your values and beliefs. We put an emphasis on sharing the organisation's stories – where you've come from, what you believe in, what it means to be part of the team.
- Behaving:
Values underpin what it means to be part of a new organisation. You want people to start making decisions and acting in line with your values. How? Through scenarios and challenges, which put your values and procedures into action, with feedback from experts.
- Beginning:
This is where new joiners move into their role and into being productive. We continue to support new joiners, often through a dedicated portal, which links to the next set of challenges and learning experiences.
- Make it a movement:
Customer service is everyone's job, every day. You have to keep it alive through spaced interventions and reminders.
How we can help you
To help you attract, engage and develop your new joiners and apprenticeships, we can support you in a range of ways:
- Bespoke elearning to motivate and engage from the outset, accessible everywhere, even before day 1.
- Induction and onboarding portals to provide a branded, learner driven, trackable induction experience, powered by Totara Learn or Moodle.
- Blended onboarding programmes, from initial consultancy through resource development of all learning and support materials for your end-to-end induction programme.
Compass Group - Case study
Providing a modern onboarding training solution that keeps learners compliant and engaged with the most up-to-date information available.Read the full case study
City & Guilds - Case study
Engaging new joiners through an induction portal, creating short, welcoming and informative resources, and supporting them through the journey.Read the full case study

SB 71, the California Comprehensive Sexual Health and HIV/AIDS Prevention Act of 2004, replaced a patchwork of confusing and often contradictory statutes on sex education with one clear and comprehensive new law. The law was authored by Senator Sheila Kuehl and sponsored by the California affiliates of the ACLU and Planned Parenthood. It went into effect on January 1, 2004.
The new law has two purposes: "1) To provide a pupil with the knowledge and skills necessary to protect his or her sexual
and reproductive health from unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases; 2) To encourage a pupil to develop healthy attitudes concerning adolescent growth and development, body image, gender roles, sexual orientation, dating, marriage, and family."
SB 71 requires that all materials and instruction be age-appropriate, medically accurate, and objective. In grades 7-12, classes must cover the safety and effectiveness of all FDA-approved methods for preventing sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy, which means they have to cover condoms and other contraceptives and not just abstinence. Teachers must be properly trained in the subject.
SB 71 makes it absolutely clear that instruction or materials that discuss human reproductive organs and their functions are "sexual health education." Anti-bias trainings covering gender, sexual orientation or family life are not sexual health education. Therefore, parents do not need to be notified of this instruction and they may not remove their children from it.
SB 71 requires that schools notify parents or guardians at the beginning of the year about sexual health education and HIV/AIDS prevention education and be given the opportunity to request in writing that their student not participate in the class(s) ("opt out"). Schools are not allowed to adopt an active consent or "opt-in" policy for sexual health education or HIV/AIDS education.
SB 71 requires that local school districts adopt an "opt out" policy for sexual health education. SB 71 does not permit a local school district to adopt an "opt in" policy for sexual health education.
SB 71 clearly defines that there is a difference between sex education and anti-harassment or anti-bias trainings that include education on safety for people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Anti-harassment programs and trainings are designed to create safe learning environments and are not sexual health instruction.
SB 71 clearly states that parental notification and consent policies apply only to sexual health education, HIV/AIDS prevention
education, and related assessments. The law does not permit parents to remove their student from anti-harassment
programs or trainings. This includes programs or trainings that cover gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation
or family life.

Ripken's son Ryan doesn't make final roster, will redshirt at South Carolina
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- The son of baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken did not make the final roster for South Carolina and will redshirt this season.
The Gamecocks roster was released Friday, a few hours before the team opened the season against Liberty. Ryan Ripken was taken in the 20th round of last year's Major League Baseball draft by his father's team, the Baltimore Orioles. Ryan Ripken took part in the team's preseason scrimmages, but was not among the players first-year manager Chad Holbrook kept on the roster.
Ryan Ripken is a 6-foot-5 first baseman who hit .377 and drove in 25 runs as a senior at Gilman High School in Baltimore last season.
